Question by bambooey: Guy with a past drug addiction?
This guy I met, who, by the way is the sweetest, most shy person I think I’ve probably met, used to have a drug problem. I found out that a couple years ago, for a year he was addicted to heroin. He went through rehab and smokes pot every once in a while, but that’s it (as far as I know and am told). I don’t do any drugs and he knows this.
I’m just wondering if there’s anyone out there who has met someone who went through a phase in their life with drugs, that is clean now, and has been for a while? We tend to put a label on people who have had drug problems, but all they are is addiction, really.
Have you witnessed someone or ARE you someone who has overcome a bad drug addiction?
Do you believe people really can change it all around?

Answer by Clammy S HI
I have witnessed someone have a drug problem, clean up, and then fall back into it again, in my experience this is a life long pattern and only a small perccentage actually never fall back into it. The people that see good in these person which there is, sometimes gets sucked into this life style even though they don’t do drugs themselves it is a hard life for the people that love them.

Answer by Emily yes i do believe people can change it around. my ex boyfriend who i will always have a love for and his group of friends that he has been with forever were all into the drug scene. though i know they do all smoke pot occasionally, one of them i think has really seen the light and doesn’t do nearly as much of the drugs that he used to. though he still has his fallback times, he is really doing well for himself now.
